Chinese President Xi Jinping and other representatives from some 100 Asian and African nations and international organizations participated here Friday morning in a highly symbolic stroll to commemorate the historic 1955 Bandung Conference.

The "historic walk" from Savoy Homann Hotel to Gedung Merdeka, or the Independence Building, was part of the commemorative events upon the 60th anniversary of that landmark bicontinental gathering in this Indonesian city.

The participants will also take part in a symbolic signing ceremony of the Bandung Message, a set of 41 items adopted Thursday at the conclusion of the two-day Asian-African leaders' meeting in Jakarta.
